  • System and method for automatically shifting a vehicle
    Patent number: 9702453
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically shifting a vehicle based upon monitored conditions. The system includes a sensor assembly configured to detect a tilt of the vehicle, an acceleration sensor configured to detect whether the vehicle is accelerating, and a throttle sensor configured to detect whether the throttle is activated. The system further includes a computer configured to automatically shift the transmission of the vehicle to neutral when all of the monitored conditions are satisfied. In one embodiment, if one of the conditions ceases to be satisfied, then the logic causes the transmission of the vehicle to shift back from neutral to the prior gear.

  • Method For The Production Of Fine Metal Powder, Alloy Powder And Composite Powder
    Publication number: 20070199410
    Abstract: There is provided a method of producing a metal powder, alloy powder or composite powder having a mean particle diameter D50 of less than or equal to 25 ?m, as determined using a particle size measuring apparatus (e.g., a MICROTRAC X 100 particle size measuring apparatus) in accordance with ASTM C 1070-01. The method includes, first providing a starting powder having a mean particle diameter D50 of greater than 25 ?m. The starting powder is then subjected to a deformation step, thereby forming flake-like particles having a particle diameter to particle thickness ratio of between 10:1 and 10,000:1. The flake-like particles are then subjected to comminution grinding in the presence of a grinding aid.
